I just found something out. There's one additional feature you lose when you move to free-form: syntax checking. There's no syntax checker in SEU for the free-form syntax. I just checked - nothing in the jLpex editor either. Evidently, to go to free-form, we also sacrifice syntax checking. This line will cause an error in fixed format RPG: callp myProgram(var1:%ln(var1)) You'll get a normal invalid token error from spelling "%len" wrong, just like you would expect. But in free-form RPG, the the same line (with the semicolon added because it is required in order to support parsing) causes no error. So, in free-form I can indent code as long as I add semicolons, but I give up syntax checking. Joe
